“The NanoPhotometer® from Implen is easy to use and flexible! Beside an easy handling and comfortable print-out options we like the compactness of the ‘stand-alone’ technology approach. All these features allow the operation by many different users (e.g. trainees, students or PhD students). In addition, the NanoPhotometer® can easily be integrated in teaching labs – minimal space requirement and independence from a computer eases the transport between different classes.
For our routine applications the NanoPhotometer® is considerably time saving, as sample dilution and recording of the dilution history is no longer necessary. Regular performance tests of our NanoPhotometer® have demonstrated that the instrument is fully meeting our expectations towards a reliable measurement device.”

Letterkenny Institute of Technology, Ireland
“I would sincerely recommend the Implen NanoPhotometer®. It’s a very good machine for everyday laboratory use, requires minimal volumes of a sample for reading (1-5 µl), is easy to use and maintain and has a small footprint suitable for limited laboratory space.”
-Sonja Nitecki, Letterkenny Institute of Technology, Ireland
University of Ulster, NIBEC Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Research Group, Newtownabbey, Ireland
“The Implen NanoPhotometer® is simply an invaluable addition to our lab. Not only is it quick and convenient to use, the repeatability we get from it is second to none. Even when we re-spec our RNA samples after freezing and re-thawing, our spectral values are identical. We have found this not to be the case with similar competing spectrometers. As even at low volume we do not see differences in terms of sample readings over repeat testing and verification. The printer function makes data logging for laboratory books ideal. Hard copy data can be attached to log books to ensure that a catalogue of samples can be created with practical ease.”

“We now use the NanoPhotometer® Implen for more than two years and like the instrument very much. We use it several times a day, for the concentration measurement of RNA and DNA samples with the LabelGuard Microliter Cell. The NanoPhotometer® with its very short optical path has served us very well because many of our RNA samples are precious and need to have high concentrations. The LabelGuard Microliter Cell enables us to conserve samples because we don’t need to waste much sample volume for the measurements themselves. We also like that we can use 1 cm path length cuvettes with the photometer, for the OD measurement of cell cultures. I highly recommend the instrument.”
